UCAS code: H651
Here's what University of Warwick says about its Cyber Security course.
Cyber space comprises all the interactions with all the networks of digital devices, used to store, modify and communicate information. It is global in reach and vast in scale, extending far beyond the Internet.
Studying Cyber Security (BSc) will equip you to be part of the worldwide team securing the human experience in cyber space.
Cyber security seeks to enable the good and prevent the bad in cyber space. For you to contribute to this task, you will learn a broad range of theory and practice. Most things will be viewed from two perspectives: what should happen, and what does happen. Many cyber security challenges lurk in this gap between concept and reality.
You will learn:
-
How to construct robust software
-
How to store data over time and communicate it over distance
-
How computer systems are organised
-
The capabilities of cryptographic techniques
-
The processes and procedures that provide assurance that things are as they should be
-
The mindset, tools, and techniques to discover the shortcomings of cyber systems, duly constrained by ethics and the law
-
This course has a strong technical focus so that you understand precisely how the digital parts of cyber systems function. However, the role played by people, processes and the physical environment in achieving cyber security is also a critical part of your study. Taken together, you will learn how to harden the security posture of an organisation's cyber systems. You will learn how to think and act coherently in cyber space.
Cyber security professionals are in high demand by businesses worldwide, meaning you will have access to a wealth of potential career routes in a highly mobile profession when you graduate.
Our BSc Cyber Security is fully certified by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) at GCHQ and accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.

I received some decent support from the SU. However, the SU is too far aligned with the University and not independent enough as it ideally should be

What support? Trying to access support was impossible - issues such as health conditions and bereavement took months for the most basic of support to be offered.
